< 1 Peter 1 >
1 Peter an apostle of Jesus Christ To [the] elect sojourners of [the] Dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 according to [the] foreknowledge of God [the] Father by [the] sanctification of [the] Spirit unto [the] obedience and sprinkling of [the] blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace would be multiplied.
3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of the Lord of us Jesus Christ, the [One] according to the great of Him mercy having begotten again us to a hope living through [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ out from [the] dead,
4 to an inheritance imperishable and undefiled and unfading reserved in [the] heavens for (you *NK+O)
5 who by [the] power of God [are] being guarded through faith for [the] salvation ready to be revealed in [the] time last;
6 in which you greatly rejoice for a little while at present, if being necessary it is, (having been put to grief *NK+o) by various trials
7 so that the proven genuineness of your faith (more precious *N+kO) than gold which is perishing through fire though being refined it may be discovered towards praise and (towards *o) glory and honor in [the] revelation of Jesus Christ;
8 whom not (having seen *N+kO) you love, on whom now [though] not seeing believing now (you yourself rejoice *NK+o) with joy inexpressible and glory-filled,
9 receiving the outcome of the faith of you, [the] salvation of [your] souls;
10 Concerning this salvation sought out and searched out diligently [the] prophets of the toward you grace having prophesied,
11 inquiring into what or what manner of time was signifying the in them Spirit of Christ testifying beforehand unto Christ's sufferings and the after these glories;
12 to whom it was revealed that not themselves (you *N+KO) however they were serving in those things which now have been proclaimed to you through those having evangelised you by [the] Spirit Holy having been sent from heaven, into which desire angels to look.
13 Therefore having girded up the loins of the mind of you, being sober-minded, fully do set [your] hope upon which is being brought to you grace in [the] revelation of Jesus Christ.
14 as children of obedience not fashioning yourselves to the former in the ignorance of you desires,
15 But as the [One] having called you [is] holy also yourselves holy in all [your] conduct do be,
16 because it has been written: (that *no) Holy (you will be, *N+k+o) because I myself holy (am. *NK)
17 And if [as] Father you call on the [One] impartially judging according to the of each work, in fear during the of the sojourn of you time do conduct yourselves;
18 knowing that not by perishable things — by silver or by gold — you were redeemed from the futile of you manner of life handed down from [your] fathers,
19 but by [the] precious blood as of a lamb without blemish and without spot of Christ,
20 foreknown indeed before [the] foundation [the] world, having been revealed however in ([this] last *N+kO) of the times for the sake of you
21 who through Him (believing *N+kO) in God, the [one] having raised up Him out from [the] dead and glory Him having given, so as for the faith of you and hope to be in God.
22 The souls of you having purified by obedience to the truth (through spirit *K) unto brotherly love sincere out of purity of heart one another do love fervently;
23 born again not of seed perishable but of imperishable through [the] word living of God and abiding (into the age; *K) (aiōn )
24 because All flesh [is] like grass, and all [the] glory (of it *N+KO) like [the] flower of grass; Withers the grass, and the flower (of him *K) falls away;
25 but the declaration of [the] Lord abides to the age. This now is the declaration which having been evangelised to you. (aiōn )
